The purpose of this project is to provide a web hosted database application and graphical tools for recording and examining spectrum measurements. The primary audience for this project is researchers and policy makers who have an interest in knowing how the spectrum is being utilized in various frequency bands around the United States. Our initial focus is on the LTE and 3.5 GHz RADAR bands. A user of this project will be able to pick a sensor and frequency band of interest and explore the data readings recorded by the sensor. This repository contains the server code. Related repositories publish the client (sensor) code.
This is a joint effort between NIST (CTL) and NTIA (ITS) - both agencies of the Department of Commerce.
